Xaver Eckert playing the psaltery. Video by Associació Estudi del Moble.

The psaltery was a very popular instrument in South-Western Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, usually played by women. All bourgeois families tended to have a psaltery. They were often beautifully decorated and came in a case that was often also decorated.

Psalteries were very popular in Catalonia, the Valencian Country, and Italy. Below, you can see psalteries from 18th-century Catalonia, some of them inside their case, plus the last photo which is a psaltery from València. Click to see the image in high quality.

(If you are native speaker od any of these cultures pls correct me if I got anything wrong thank you 🙏)
